AI-suggested
Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a patch is released, consider disabling the Advanced Woo Search plugin or the Dynamic Content for Elementor plugin to mitigate risk. Avoid clicking on suspicious links that could exploit this vulnerability.
Description
The Advanced Woo Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the search parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.96 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This only affects sites when the Dynamic Content for Elementor plugin is also installed.
